Which one of the following compounds is NOT considered an acid?
general-sciencechemistry
- ABF3
- BAlCl3
- CNH3
- DC6H5OH
Explanation
Boron trifluoride and aluminium chloride are Lewis acids, and phenol (C6H5OH) is a weak Bronsted acid. Ammonia (NH3) is a base, accepting protons rather than donating them. Hence NH3 is not considered an acid.
